“The study measured blood vitamin D levels from 4,200 pregnant women during two-time points during pregnancy and found that those women that were deficient during both points measured were more likely to have a child with autism.”

“Immunological dysfunction may be a possible risk factor for the development of autism. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more than twice as likely to have a food allergy. The association between food allergy and ASD are stronger than the association of respiratory or skin allergy with ASD.”

“Many young children with autism spectrum disorder struggle with language delays and social challenges, and while low vitamin D levels are reported in this population, prior studies of vitamin D supplementation show mixed results.”

“A growing body of evidence, both in animals and humans, has linked maternal immune activation with autism spectrum disorder. Mothers of children with autism are 5 times more likely to have circulation autoantibodies against fetal brain proteins.”

“Some evidence suggests that folate, a B vitamin, might help protect against lead's neurotoxic effects. A recent study found that higher folate levels during pregnancy may help reduce the risk of autism-like behaviors in children exposed to lead before birth.”

“A cross-sectional study also found differences in BPA metabolism among children with autism, but it cannot show that BPA caused the diagnosis. Human decedent tissue studies have detected micro- and nanoplastics in brain samples, with higher concentrations in more recent samples and in brains from people with dementia.”

“00:45:12 - VO2Max increases by 12% after 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training. Study. 00:54:30 - Maternal antibodies from mothers of children with autism alter brain growth and social behavior development in the rhesus monkey.”

“ASD affects roughly one in 68 people and is more common among males than females. A 2014 study showed that sulforaphane reduces communication impairments and behavioral symptoms in young men with autism. Sulforaphane demonstrates low toxicity.”

“While this study did not find a mechanism, I published a study in 2014 suggesting that low maternal vitamin D may increase the risk of autism because vitamin D controls the production of serotonin.”
